Had a nice wee ride round there today, first time in a while, Mixing up red/black/secret stuff nearly everyone knows about. Was good, my knee problem never reared its annoyingly painful head. So all good.
But seriously, it’s getting worse down there. The amount of body armour, pressure suits, mahoosive bikes, people pushing mahoosive bikes up to Spooky Wood, full facers and someone with one of those DH neck brace things on the red who couldn’t get up rock step. Its madness, I can understand why people want to protect themselves yadda yadda, but bin all the over the top armour and just learnt to ride your bike. I also understand that the mahoosive bikes may be their only bike, but do it some justice and take it to Innerleithen, Spooky Wood is guff at the best of times, can only imagine it’s a reet bore with 8″+ of travel.
Apart from all that, as you were.
